[Gllug] easily configured wireless cards

[Liad Bokovsky]

* You get better range with an Access Point.
* You can control the access to your network.
* Easily set the AP with your router to provide you network connectivity
  via wireless, otherwise, you will have to have a computer with a
  network card to the ADSL router and a wireless adaptor to talk to the
  network.

  In infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with each
  other or with a wired network. We all use infrastructure mode in one
  way or another (wireless inside the house and a cable between the AP to
  the ADSL router).

I will not tell you that using only adaptors without an AP is bad -
but I will sure recommend you to get an AP if only for being able to
monitor and administrator the network.

In my house I have 2 Laptops and 2 Desktops. I use wireless for the
Laptops and one desktop. the Desktop is connected directly to the router
and the AP as well. the AP is a bridge. 
I can't start to imagine all the problems I would  have encountered
without the ability to monitor everything.
